KCON Returns Bigger Than Ever for 2016 Dates in NYC and LA

Last year marked KCON's biggest year yet, as the Korean culture convention expanded to three days in Los Angeles and went bi-costal with its inaugural New York showing. But the world's largest K-pop festival and convention is getting even bigger this year.

KCON announced that it will return in 2016 with a second day and two concerts for its New York date, taking place on June 24 and 25, at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. A month later, the fest will return to Los Angeles for three days of fun during July 29-31 at the Staples Center. In addition to arena-sized concerts, KCON boasts panels, workshops, food trucks, booths, and much more, all centered around Korean culture.

Like last year, we anticipate a stacked lineup for each date that will include a mix of new and veteran artists that boasts boy bands, girl groups, and solo stars that touch on a mix pop, hip-hop and R&B. KCON 2015 saw the likes of Girl's Generation, Super Junior, Shinhwa, GOT7, AOA, Sistar, VIXX, Zion.T, Block B and more coming to perform across both coasts.

Artist lineups and programming are expected to come ahead of ticket sales.
